Port Douglas Splash Park

Overview

Summary

After consultation with the community, Jalunbu Park has been identified as the location for a splash park. The site is on Council reserve and contains public toilet amenities. It is located behind the Surf Lifesaving Club, on undulating land with well-established vegetation in parts. It has glimpses of the ocean.

The Splash Park will be bespoke, with a rainforest meets the reef nature theme.  It will contain:

• A water play area with various nozzles and features that can shower, spray, rain, mist, dump or shoot steams of water to create an exciting place for people of all ages to play.
• Zero depth – no standing water to eliminate requirement for lifeguards
• No fencing required – as the facility does not require pool regulation compliance
• Custom-designed—unique to Port Douglas

Over the next month, contractors will be focusing on installing the underground services. This phase is critical to the overall functionality and safety of the park, ensuring that essential utilities are properly integrated. While this work is not highly visible, it lays the groundwork for all subsequent construction activities.

Following the completion of the underground installations, contractors will commence pouring multiple stages of concrete. This will occur towards the end of May and extend into early June. These activities will mark a significant transformation in the site’s appearance, as the foundational elements of the park become more apparent.
